My apologies to Mr. Badawey for cutting off his train of thought or his reading.
Prior to this I had, I think, very graciously tried to allow the discussion about whether the minister should appear to finish up, so that we could vote on the amendment and go back to the original motion. It feels to me like Mr. Badawey is now reading stuff that applies more to the larger motion than to the amendment.
I understand that he has the floor and he can do with it what he will, but I will express my frustration that I was on the speaking list. I would like to speak before the end of the meeting to the main motion, and I'm concerned that we're not moving towards a vote on the amendment. If we can either restore the original speakers list or move to a vote on the amendment, I'd appreciate it.
You can do with that what you will, Mr. Chair.
